Fabulous Fun Making Fondant

My darling daughters, Emily and katelyn, have been bugging me for weeks to make fondant
 (or "Fon dant" as Emily says). They LOVE watching food shows, especially Cake Boss, Cup Cake Wars and The Next Great Baker. 
So...I finally gave in and we had two days of baking an fondant making. We used the recipe for Marshmallow Fondant from Wilton.com and followed the pictures at What's Cooking America.
Just a few ingredients needed:
Easy to make-not so easy to roll out for little hands
They all made their own creations
Daniel made a space ship (turn head to the rt and you will see it)
Katelyn did a fab job on her flowers!
Emily got creative with a braided border, dragon fly, flowers and more.
This might just become our favorite rainy day activity :)

  3. Hi. I am your newest follower. Thanks for hopping over to http://justanotherhat.blogspot.com/ I love the fondant making activity. When my son is old enough, I hope I can do this with him. Thank you for sharing this. If you would like to do more blog hops, there are several blogs that host it. You can do one for practically every day of the week. I have a page on my blog that lists blog hops, Twitter and Facebook hops too.

So what did you do on this beautiful, un-winter-like, day? Our family headed up to a shooting range on a friend's property and took turn...
